Be like tom cruise in cocktail, stuff getting thrown around

Pete, go long!!
Just finished a full twin system on a mack truck. Turbo to y-piece dual 5" mufflers and 6" stacks. 6cyl dohc with massive turbo. At least they got the engine right ;-) can you toss a bourbon about 300kms? [emoji23]
Say no more.
Had a good chat to the Minister on the weekend, we agreed the best thing to do is hand it off to a pro builder as the frame mod list id getting pretty long. Just got to find a bloke I like and trust now. 
Also, used my local "hire a hoist" place to do the service on the ministers focarse too, due to me still being a creaky old bastard, and for the $60 it cost me was an absolute bargain I reckon. All I bought with me was the car and parts, everything else was supplied, so would def recommend

The only forienger I like is. Hot blooded, I wanna know what love is, cold as ice, feels like the first time Etc. The softest metal ever made.
Actually I’m back into guitar. Maybe someday I’ll get a banjo
Hows the boy going with the classical? Be very very careful not to snap the banjo string. Would require a delicate operation and embarrassing explanation:-o

The beard of a top quality tradesman. Years of experience glistening from the red bristles. Now there is a man you can trust:-)
Chicken coop construction coming along nicely.

Hopefully buy some Chooks tomorrow
Boc boc boc boc boc bopbgurk boc bgarg. "so I laid an egg" you should get yourself a Stinky Rooster to keep the chicks in line.

my name at work is "greybeard" and i kinda like it :blush:

Picked up a rolling frame from a TTR600 Belgrade last night for a song. Came with a beefy 51mm cartridge fork style front end and fully adjustable Olins rear shock, so suspension for Ragnar is almost sorted :woot: Just gotta get the fork emulators sorted and the changeover can begin.

So organised you were a whole hour ahead of schedule.

Morning babes

Sup for the weekend?

pulling Ragnar down to the frame at the front end (most of this is already done as i found a couple of spots of surface rust along the oil tank seams when I took the tank off) and pulling the front end off the new parts bike so I can make some drawings up of the new centre spindle Imma going to need to bring the 2 together, so I can get it trailered off next week to get the new tank fitted and a new seat base made.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
